I felt like a break from making Bows and Arrows and I'd seen a wooden Hare on a TV program and thought I'd like to make one.
There's not a great engineering content, mind I had to cut down one trunk of a cherry tree a few years back, from which he's made. I had to turn the Walnut eyes and ball joints on my little lathe too.
It was quite tricky getting the arm articulation right, first I tried a small wooden bead between arm and body, but being a small contact area the arms just flopped down. I turned a larger hemisphere which is glued to the arm and I ground a wood bit to bore a hemispherical hole for it to bear in. The limbs are held with stout elastic bands pulled through and held in place with small wooden pegs.
The local art gallery just happens asking for entries to an exhibition of pics juxtaposing things of any sort to places/landmarks/sculptures in Harlow where I live. So I took Mr Hare on a tour of the town 
 

Hope you like him
